I hope Charlie Klumps takes a couple months off to get himself together. Late 2017 I thought he was coming back to battling to prove a point, but now I have zero faith that battle rap is a priority for him.

I agree. Clips performance goes to a different level when he feels personally disrespected. He may be able to pull off a win against Math, even in this state. Once Math goes with the Cali angle, he's going to freestyle about Math's jealousy & ungratefulness and bring the ceiling down.

L.A. GEAR SENDS UP NEW FLAK IN SHOE WARSThey said “Charlie coming to fight!”… I would think he would needa
As much flack (FLAK) as he got for not being in LA with them sneakers:walldo:

I'm good on vets vs vets at this point. It always feels like it's more likely to be a let down. vets vs new nikkas/new top tier and of course new guys vs new guys is the wave.
And on another note, is Nitty top tier now? Look at his resume, his overall ability as a battler, and his performance. That and the fact that everyone wants to battle him now, I'm starting to think he might be.

I view Nitty as a lower top tier guy. He lacks in the views department for me to really consider him more than a lower top tier guy. One could argue that the PPV era has hurt views, which is fair. However, *surf voice* the hitmans, the surfs, and the cons will get major views despite that.
To me, a true top tier guy gets a lot of views, and the outcome of his battles don’t matter.
If Rum Nitty were to go around and takes losses like these top tier vets, he’s going right back to mid tier.

Lux put on a clinic against Clips. He really wanted to take his head off

yeah you're 100% right, a real top tier is a star and view of course reflect that. Rum isn't able to pull 1m views off the strength of his name like Surf and hitman can. So yeah he is a lower top tier guy like you said. He has everything you would want in a top tier but the star power
Not even sure why we are debating if Rum is top tier or not. Rum Nitty's last six battles
Brizz
Tsu Surf
John John

Iron Solomon

Smack doing PPV means you don't have to be a big stage guy to maintain top tier status.
To take it a step further..... West Coast battle rap pretty much just hit the reset button. The vast majority of new West Coast fans and battlers will look at Rum, B. Dot & Geechi like gods. That's going to promote them to "top tier".

But it definitely stands out when they do have the main stage events and you dont look the same, people still gonna notice the difference
Hardcore fans will notice the difference. But if Rum Nitty is on six PPV URL cards in a year, then he's top tier imo. How many events do they have that Nitty ISN'T a part of? They call his name when it's time to get money. Who has been on more URL ppv's than Nitty?
Summer Madness 6 PPV
Traffic 3 PPV
Smack Volume 1 PPV
Smack Volume 2 PPV (Nitty was supposed to get K-Shine)
NOME 8 PPV
Initiation PPV
Ain't nothing else moving in battle rap. KOTD is struggling, UDUBB is wherever they are at. And once again RBE is trying to finagle a card full of wonky match-ups. I do like RBE, but Nitty isn't missing out on anything by not being on their platform.

So being put on every card means top tier?

What does a card have to do with being top tier?
Personally I could give a fukk if a battler reaches a main stage and spits some bullshyt while he’s there.
By that logic URL determines who’s top tier which is corny imo
Chess got exposed for that applying that flawed logic. He kept fukkin up while bein put on the biggest cards even tho he didn’t deserve it. His material also clearly wasn’t on the same level consistently like Top and Brizz who weren’t given that push he got
The shyt Nitty is spittin is top tier shyt, no debate
I litteraly seen nikkas question if O Red is top tier by using the card angle.
I’m like how?! Son been on TWO runs spitting toptier shyt. How is his status even in question? Cause of a damn card?
Same thing with Nitty.
His material
vs Danny
vs Steams
vs Ave
vs Clips
vs Iron Solomon
Back to Back, how his status could be questioned is beyond me
A stage don’t matter, the material you’re spitting and how you do in a battle regardless of the stage determines your status imo

Smack is the only thing moving, and they call Nitty damn near every time
Battlers are jacking his style
Hardcore fans say he has multiple classic battles on URL
He has 3 million views coming his way via his battle with Tsu Surf on NOME 8
Multiple prominent battlers cite him as their favorite
He's a more exclusive, better prepared version of B Magic. B Magic was top tier, and it wasn't a loss that took him out. Magic just wasn't able to maintain the standard he set for himself. Nitty doesn't seem to have that problem.
